Cre Basic Industry of the Southland

[From Sunday Los Angeles Herald, June 7, 1908.]

ITH the rapid march of progress and the building up of this city many of the native flowers, such as the

\/ cluster lily (Brodiaea capitata,) Mariposa lily (Calochortus Catalinae,) and others have disappeared

from the old haunts on the hills that were then on the outskirts of the city. These same hills have

_long since been surveyed, cut up into lots and used for building sites. Where once these flowers grew

there are now many homes with green lawns, palms and other semi-tropical plants, for which this city is famed.

But these wild flowers still grow in abundance on the hills further back from the city, in Griffith and Elysian parks
and other localities, where the plow has not yet broken up the ground.

Few people realize it, nevertheless it is a fact, that the horti-
cultural world is indebted to California for many of its most valu-
able plants. First and foremost may be mentioned the ever-popular
California poppy (Eschscholtzia Californica,) or Copa de Oro,
“Cup of Gold,” as it was termed in early days by the Spanish.
This flower is almost as eagerly sought after and prized by our-
selves as by the tourists who visit our city. In cultivation there are
as many as eight distinct varieties of it, including the yellow, or-
ange, orange and yellow, white, pink, a semi-double form of the
white and yellow, and, last of all, the variety introduced by Mr.
Burbank, which is a deep rose color. .

Then there is the Matilija poppy (Romneya Coulteri,) with
its immense blooms, often seven inches across, of purest white with
yellow centers. It often has been termed the “Queen of Califor-
nia” flowers, and surely is deserving of this title, for it has no
rival. This plant has been largely cultivated in England and
other countries, and is in great favor.

The Spanish Dagger (Yucca Whipplei) is truly a majestic
flower, raising its immense stem eight to twelve feet in the air, with
flower spikes four and six feet long, composed of hundreds of
large, creamy-white flowers. There is something grand about these
plants when in flower in early summer, as they stand like so many
white sentinels stationed on our hillsides.

Another flower which must be mentioned is the Scarlet Lark-
spur (Delphinium cardinale,) with its long spikes of vivid scarlet
flowers.

ce G, ; Bartonia aurea (blazing star) is a flower also much cultivated

ih Ss CHAN. in Europe, but a native of our state. It has large, rich, golden-
yellow flowers, almost as large as a poppy.

Two Lilies of which we are justly proud are Lilium Humboldti, the native tiger lily, a stately plant growing to
four or five feet, with large orange-colored flowers spotted with maroon, and Lilium Parryi, which has lemon-yellow
fragrant blossoms. : '

The Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila insignis) must not be forgotten, with its delicate sky-blue flowers.

The Lupins, Godetias, Clarkias, Gilias, Collinsia and a great many more are all members of our flora, but
space will not permit of their mention in detail.

In looking back on the floriculture of early days in California it is very interesting to note the changes and
developments from the then extremely limited varieties of garden plants.

Carnation growing was then in its infancy; it has developed to such proportions that it has become a distinct
industry, of which Southern California may be justly proud.

In Roses the advent of the pink and white Maman Cochet marks an era of great importance. These two
varieties are perhaps the most popular of the day. Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, white; Madame Abel Chatenay,
salmon pink; Clara Watson, bluish pink; Gruss an Teplitz, deep crimson; Marie Van Houtte, yellow; Ulrich
Brunner, cherry red, and Paul Neyron, deep rose color, are the roses mostly grown today; while of the very latest
introduction may be mentioned Frau Karl Druschki, which is a beautiful clear white; Etoille de France, deep
glowing crimson; Killarney, bright carmine pink marbled with white, and Franz Deegan, a deep orange yellow.

The Cannas of early times, with their small, insignificant flowers, cannot be compared with those of today with
their immense trusses. Of these new varieties one, at least, is of home production, the Mrs. Kate Gray, which has
magnificent flowers of rich orange scarlet overlaid with gold, and large, handsome foliage.

Of the ever popular Geraniums there are many varieties, one of the most important introductions being
Charles Turner, the ivy-leafed pink variety which is now seen almost everywhere in Southern California. In
Scarlet Geraniums John Forbes is a later introduction and has certainly come to stay.

The Sweet Pea is, of course, a flower which has been greatly improved, the new large-flowered types taking the
place of the old small ones. ;

In Bulbous plants the Watsonia is remarkable with its large spikes of flowers of purest white. The yellow
Calla, the Gladiolus, America, which is a beautiful shade of pink, and many varieties of Amaryllis are of no less
importance.

One flower which much not be forgotten, and one of the most striking of all, is the Gerbera Jamesoni (Trans-
vaal daisy,) with flowers in shape like a Marguerite but of a vivid fiery, scarlet color. And, last of all, the beau-
tiful, new, decorative palm, Phoenix Roebeleni, which is a very small species of date palm from Siam, with finely-
cut, graceful leaves. It is much hardier than the Cocos Weddelliana, and no doubt will take the place of this
species as a house plant.

These remarks on ornamental horticulture might be continued indefinitely, but suffice it to say, that in my
judgment, our agricultural development is only in its infancy.

llowing for the fact that all our leading staples of orchard and field, ranch and garden are exotic to our
soil; and allowing that their production in the main is only possible by the artificial application of water, often

[iii]

secured at great effort and expense; and allowing that under these somewhat anomalous circumstances the horcne
tural production of the state has grown to the enormous sum of nearly $200,000,000, the rural economies of Cali-
fornia can be regarded only in the light of the most marvelous exploitation in soil products of this or any other
time. For nearly half a century it has been my good fortune not only to see this development, but, in a small way,
I have been part and parcel of it, contributing something toward its fruition from a packer’s and ee point of
view, rather than from that of a grower.

Obviously, horticulturally, California has made history rapidly ; indeed, so much so that all. of us, in the
strenuous experience of our own affairs, have quite lost sight of the many important things that have happened in
the past forty years. | Why, it seems but yesterday that the shipments of a few carloads of citrus fruits to
eastern markets was heralded as an event; yet today we are less surprised at the statement that 25,000 carloads
go forth, valued at something like $19,000,000. In 1877 I was, in a small way, as things go now, shipping fruit
and midwinter vegetables north per steamer to San F rancisco, the only market available. We used to hear then
of Fresno only as a spot on the map; now that town “turns” $28,000,000 worth of soil products a year. River-
side in those days was unknown; our oranges and lemons came from a few groves in the San Gabriel valley and
from what is now a portion of Los Angeles. The Walnut, the Olive, the Fig and many other products were only
cultivated spasmodically, where now they are as much a feature of the landscape and the market place as wheat
or corn is in the Mississippi valley. Indeed, horticulture has crowded all other activities to the wall in this state,
and by reason of values has for fully twenty years been recognized as our basic industry.

Given a soil and climate which are inferior to none, it only remained to create our marvelous system
of irrigation to make possible a horticulture the like of which the world has never seen; an industry ‘already stu-
pendous in its ramifications, with the geographical area of the state scarcely scratched. Prior to the advent of the —
Anglo-Saxon the country was practically a wilderness; now it is the seat of the most profitable soil production
known to man. Its benefits, not only in a pecuniary sense, but in the light of a higher civilization and a patriotic
citizenship, are incalculable. I doubt if there is anywhere a community of soil tillers that possesses the intelligence
and moral fiber which so thoroughly individualizes the man behind the plow in Southern California

The most phenomenal fact in connection with our industry is its optimism. Many are apt to think the busi-
ness will be overdone. Again, we are apt to believe land values are beyond the poor man’s purse, and opportunity
is closed to the man with only brain and brawn as capital. Sheer nonsense.

Why, within the past six or seven years the Imperial and Coachella valleys have been exploited, and now
their output in live stock, fruits, vegetables, cereals, alfalfa and garden truck runs into the millions. Thousands of
acres have been subjected to the plow by sturdy men and women who had “their pile to make,” and have made
it. The output of that Imperial region has been about as follows: Barley, $450,000; hogs, $200,000; cattle,
$350,000; dairy cows and products, $325,000; cantaloupes, $225,000. Deciduous fruits and grapes will soon
constitute important articles of export, though at present many of the orchards and Vineyards are too young for
bearing. Citrus fruits are also being successfully experimented with. ‘This year the cantaloupe crop is estimated
at about 1500 carloads. Similar results are working out in the San Joaquin valley at various points, with other
sections on the live wire, full of agricultural activity. I cite these facts to show that opportunity is knocking at
every man’s door who is thirsting for land and a chance to work it in California.

In this onward trend there have necessarily been some disappointments, chief among which must be cited the
mistake of planting certain crops on soil and in sections unsuitable. In so far as my observation goes—now covering
a period of nearly forty years—this has been the rock on which many a bright ambition has foundered. Diversity
of soil and climate is one of California’s attractions, but woe to the man who abuses it.

In earlier times oranges, to my knowledge, were often planted on alfalfa land, olives on rocky and desert
wastes, etc. When a certain piece of land in a favorable situation produces a profitable crop of a certain kind the
tendency has been to believe it would do well anywhere, so long as it was in California. And while it is in a
measure true that certain growths are possible in a poor soil and an uncongenial environment, it is also emphatically
true that they will do better in a good soil and situation. As a matter of fact profits are always best on a good soil.
Just at present this fact should be carefully considered by all who are contemplating planting Eucalyptus for timber
culture.

As an indication of our horticultural development I cannot ds ibeten aan give the volume of shipments by
seasons. In 1883-84 the total output of citrus fruits was not more than 150 carloads. The rapid advance all along
the line is graphically told in the following table:

Statistics touching the number of acres under irrigation in Southern California are unavailable. The total
acreage of the state under irrigation at present is 1,708,720 acres.

In this connection it is interesting to note that irrigation is as old as our history, and was first practiced by the
Mission Fathers. In the early days the Los Angeles council granted O. W. Childs 160 acres (now nearly the cen-
ter of the city) for which he was to construct an irrigation ditch (and did), affording irrigation to the ranchers doing
business where now are heard the clang and rumble of electric cars and hum of traffic. Since that memorable
event much water has been developed, the cap sheaf of which is to be the Owens River enterprise, which, when
completed, will give the city an adequate supply, and irrigate thousands of acres destined to become prosperous
homes of many families.

Beyond fruits, cereals and vegetable productions, the growing of seeds th also become a great industry, Cal-
ifornia leading in certain lines. It is not generally known that we supply the world with its sweet-pea seed, and
that Los Angeles county possesses the proud distinction of having the largest field of sweet peas in the world—360
acres, harvesting something like 200 tons—all of which has already been contracted for. We lead in onion, to-
mato, lettuce, peppers, lima and other beans, onion sets, cauliflower, peas, alfalfa, etc. In flower seeds, aster, bal-
sams, carnations, cosmos, and many other sorts.

alive to the fact that quality in cabbage seed is of the utmost
importance, as no satisfactory results can possibly be obtained
when poor seed is planted.

Commence to sow the seed of the early varieties in August
and each month following, until spring, for succession. Trans-
plant as soon as large enough, to fresh, rich soil, in rows 2 feet
apart and 18 inches apart in the rows. In planting cabbage or
cauliflower, care should be observed that the stem is set under
ground as far as the first leaf. The ground should be well
worked to produce good heads, and hoed as many as three times
during the season, drawing the earth slightly about: the stems,

it has superseded all other varieties,
which should be sufficient to recom-
mend it to the most skeptical. It is
heavier and more compact than any

MUSHROOM SPAWN

Seta Schwamm Champignon

One of the most profitable crops for the outlay that can be grown. The market is sure, be-
cause the supply never equals the demand. Musnrooms can be grown in any dark room or cellar
where the temperature can be kept at 50 to 70 degrees. From some old pasture procure good
rich soil and store it away. To every bushel of this add two bushels of fresh horse manure. Of
this mixed compound prepare a bed, say four feet wide. Put down a thin layer and pound it down
hard, and so on until the bed is 12 to 18 inches thick. It soon becomes pretty hot, but let the
heat recede until it is only 85 to 90 degrees. Then make holes, say a foot apart, and put in the
spawn, two or three pieces as large as a walnut to each hole. Cover the holes and press the soil
solid and smooth. Let the bed remain in this condition about 12 days; then cover the bed with
2 inches of fresh loam, and over this put 4 or 5 inches of hay or straw, and the work is done. If
the temperature is right, in six or eight weeks you may expect mushrooms. The beds will con-
tinue bearing from 20 to 30 days. After the first crop is gathered, spread over the bed an inch of
fresh soil, moisten with warm water and cover with hay as before. The main conditions in
mushroom growing are proper and uniform temperature and very rich soil. One pound of spawn
is sufficient for a bed 2x6 feet. We import our spawn from the best makers in England and
France. To grow mushrooms successfully, write for “Mushroom Culture,” by W. Robinson. By

PEAS Us

If ordered by mail, add 10 cts. per pound for postage.

The Pea is one of our most important crops, and to be successfully grown must be liberally
treated. A deep, rich soil, well pulverized, and incorporated with a fair allowance of well-de-
eayed manure, should be chosen for the principal crops. For early peas the ground does not re-
quire to be so rich. Sowing of the first early variety should be made in October, and the other
varieties, for successive crops, planted every two weeks until April 1.

6 P Peas are sown in single or double rows, from
2 to 6 feet apart, according to the variety or the
height to which they attain. Have rows of the
dwarf varieties 2 feet apart, and those of the
medium sorts from 3 to 4 feet apart, and the
tall varieties from 5 to 6 feet apart. Tall varie-

ties require sticks. Two pounds will sow 100
feet of row. ;

RADISHES

Rabano Radies Radis

The Radish will succeed in any good garden soil not over-moist or too heavy. A sandy loam
enriched by well-rotted manure is best. For early and late crops a warm, sheltered situation should
be chosen, whilst for those sown in the heat of the summer a rather shady spot must be selected.
For a succession sow every two weeks. The ground where the sowing is to be made should be
dug deep and raked fine. The seed is generally sown thinly broadcast, in beds 4 to 5 feet wide,
with 1-foot alleys between. One ounce of seed will sow about 50 feet of drill or a bed of 40
square feet. ‘

should not be sown until
all danger from frost is
past. Plant in hills, pre-
pared in the same manner
as for cucumbers and mel-

4 feet apart, and. the run-
ning varieties from 6 to 9
feet apart, according to
their nature, as some will

Plant about one-half dozen

earth about the plants
should be kept loose and
clear from weeds until
runners are well started.
Cutting off the leading

7 TOMATOES

Gitomate Liebesapfel Tomate.

Sow the seed in frame or sheltered bed. When the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin
them out and set them in pots or in another bed, to give them room and make them “stocky.”
When 5 or 6 inches high, if the weather be warm and settled, transplant them to open ground, se-
lecting a rainy day if possible; in the absence of rain, water and protect till well rooted. Set
plants 4 feet apart each way; support by driving two or three stakes around each plant and en-
eircle with as many barrel hoops; this will serve to keep the fruit off the ground. One ounce of
seed will produce 3000 plants. The tomato requires a rather light soil to ripen early, but if hand-
some fruit and a plentiful crop be desired, very rich soil should be selected.

Pot, Sweet and Medicinal Herbs

A well assorted selection of the various kinds of herbs should have a place in every garden.
Their value in seasoning and flavoring is well known and appreciated. Some kinds are aromatic,
while others are used for medicinal purposes. Care should be taken to harvest on a dry day,
just before they fully blossom. They may be sown in a sheltered, well-prepared border, merely
deep enough to cover the seeds. When the plants appear they should be thinned out toa foot apart.
Water carefully with a fine-rose watering-pot, and keep the surface soil loose. A slight mulch-
ing of fine litter will be found beneficial the first summer. All can be supplied in pkts. at 5 cts.

‘SEEDS FOR COVER CROPS

We are headquarters for seeds for planting in orchards for cover crops. No up-to-date or-
chardist would think of allowing a season to pass without planting some of the legumes to plow
under in the spring. In this way not only is the moisture kept in he soil, but a great benefit is
done to the following crop. All pod-bearing plants are great nitrogen-gatherers, having power
to collect it from the air and transmit it to the soil when plowed under. We strongly recommend

‘hints on the formation of Dawns

In the first place, see that the ground is well prepared. Dig or plow the ground to the depth
of 8 inches. Afterwards harrow or rake carefully and remove all large stones. If the soil is
shallow, procure a supply of fine mold and spread over the surface to a depth of 5 inches. Soil
may be enriched by bone meal or well-rotted Manure wherever necessary, then rake level and
roll the soil well to make a solid bottom. Scatter the seed evenly over the surface at the rate of
150 pounds to the acre (for Blue Grass) 1 pound to 16 feet square. Rake seed in and roll, water
regularly and carefully, as the soil is liable to dry out in the heat of the day, and if it does
while the seed is germinating it will invariably perish. When the grass is 3 inches high it should
be cut and rolled, and every week or so thereafter until the grass has become firm. Eradicate weeds
whenever they appear, without disturbing the grass. Should bare spots appear, rake the sur-
face and sow more seed. The roller should be used more frequently during the season, and a
dressing of stable manure or lawn fertilizer once a year is necessary to the maintenance of a good
lawn.

Double the Yield of Your Crops With

NITROGEN CULTURE

The Greatest Agricultural Discovery of the Century!

The germs have been discovered, and are to be had in unlimited quantity, that enable legumi-
nous plants to collect nitrogen from the air and give it to the earth, thereby replenishing poor
and exhausted land with a copious supply of nitrogen, and also making good soil more productive.
Does away with artificial manure; saves time and labor; is convenient to handle, effective in re-
sults, and at the minimum of cost. Don’t fail to try it and be convinced. ‘

The method of application is simplicity itself, consisting in inoculating the seed that is about
to be planted as a crop to turn under as green manure. This is accomplished by using cotton as
a carrier for the nitrogen-gathering bacteria and then allowed to dry, rendering the same dormant
and inactive. In this way it is readily handled as an article of commerce. _

These dry cultures are accompanied with necessary packages of chemical foods, which, when
mixed in a solution according to directions, produce vast numbers of bacteria. The seeds moist-
ened with the solution before planting cause the germs to form abundant nodules on the roots,
bringing profuse growth to the plants and adding nitrogen to the soil.

The following list comprises all the pod-bearing family that are in general use throughout the
United States, and we carry a special culture for each. and would specially call the attention of
private parties, market gardeners, etc., that we have always A
on hand packages of a size to suit either small or large gar-
dens, and we strongly recommend their use in the home
garden for such crops as garden peas, beans, alfalfa, white
clover, Sweet peas, peanuts, etc.

Ones and ranunculi. Commence planting gla-
diola bulbs for succession. Sow hardy annuals
out-of-doors, especially sweet peas, and half-
hardy annuals as recommended for last month.
This is the best month in which to sow acacia
seeds. Soak for 24 hours before sowing, or,
where practicable, spread dry leaves or bushes
over the beds after sowing and watering and set
fire to them, This is the best manner of sowing
all hard tree seeds.

Vegetable Garden.—This and the next month
will be the busiest of the year in this depart-
ment, as nearly all crops may be sown in these
two months. (See reference table for varieties
to be sown). Continue planting asparagus and
other roots as recommended for last month.
Plant main crop of pnotatoes. Attend to weeding
and hilling up. Thin out turnips, carrots and
other root crops requiring it.

MARCH

Flower Garden.—Continue planting gladioli
bulbs for succession. All hardy and half-hardy
annuals may be sown in the open ground this
month. Alternanthera and other border plants
can be planted with safety, as all danger from
even slight frost is now over,

Vegetable Garden.—Nearly all vegetable seeds
may be freely sown this month. (See reference
table.) Plant out cucumbers, melons and other
plants previously sown under glass. Hill up
rows, Keep down insects, slugs and vermin, and
attend strictly to cleanliness.

etc., die down, the bulbs should be dug up, and
stored away in a cool, dry place till fall, when
they may be replanted. The vacancies thus cre-
ated should be filled with other flowering plants.
Half-hardy and other annuals may still be sown,
and summer-flowering bulbs be planted. The
garden should now be brilliant with flowers,
and all sowing, planting and general cleaning
up should be completed this month, ready for
the summer season.

Vegetable Garden.—Pinch out points of shoots
of cucumbers, melons, squash, ete., aS soon as
they commence flowering. Sow vegetable seeds
for succession (see reference table), and Keep
surface of soil weil broken.

JUNE

Flower Garden.—Trim edgings of borders and
hedges, and carefully attend to watering.
Dahlias and gladioli may still be planted. Sow
eucalyptus and cypress seeds for winter plant-
ing.

Vegetable Garden.—(See reference table for
varieties that may be sown for succession.)
Hill up all growing crops and stick pole-beans
and tall peas as required.

JULY

Flower Garden.—Continue to dig up and store
bulbs as they ripen. Trim edgings and hedge-
rows and sow perennial flower seeds in shady

situations. Continue sowing eucalyptus and
cypress seeds.

Vegetable Garden.—Cultivate well between
the rows. Sow vegetable seeds for succession,

as per reference table. If manure is used dur-
ing this hot month, it should be in liquid form.

AUGUST

Flower Garden.—This is the best month in the
year in which to sow hardy perennials. Most
varieties if sown this month will flower the
next year. (See remarks on culture in body
of list.) Also sow calceolaria, cineraria, pansy
and primula seeds. (See special remarks on
culture of tender annuals.) Continue sowing
eucalyptus and cypress seeds.

Vegetable Garden.—Plant second crop of pota-
toes. Sow cabbage, cauliflower and spinach for
main crops, and others mentioned in reference
table for succession,

SEPTEMBER

Flower Garden.—Commence planting hya-
cinths, tulips, anemones and other Dutch bulbs
toward the end of the month. Prick off calceo-
larias, cinerarias and primulas sown last month,
into small pots, and continue sowing same for
succession. Pansies can be grown better trans-
planted into a well-manured bed than in pots,
as they are not so liable to be attacked by the
red spider. Pansy seed may be sown for suc-
cession until the end of November. Also sow
all the hardy annuals and perennials.

Vegetable Garden.—Many varieties of vege-
table seeds may be sown this month. (See ref-
ence table.) Plant out cabbage and cauliflower
piants sown in July.

OCTOBER

Flower Garden.—Hyacinths and other Dutch
bulbs should be planted freely this month; also
early lilies, Cineraria and primula seed may
still be sown for late flowering. Continue sow-
ing hardy annuals.

Vegetable Garden.—Sow largely peas,
and spinach for main crop;
succession, (see reference
winter radishes.

NOVEMBER

Flower Garden.—Continue planting
and other Dutch bulbs, and lilies of all Kinds:
also plant roses, evergreens and deciduous
shrubs of all kinds. Form new lawns and reno-
vate old ones (for which we recommend our
special lawn fertilizer, at the rate of 600 pounds
per acre). Carry out landscape alterations, if
required; dig and manure borders, and ener-
getically proceed with all heavy work.

Vegetable Garden.—Sow seeds as recom-
mended in reference table for this month, and
hill up young crops. Keep the ground thor-
oughly clean, and dig or plow manure in all
unoccupied ground for future use. Keep down
slugs by free use of Hammond’s Slug Shot, salt,
lime, or any other dressing which is beneficial
to the growing crops.

Germain’s Wigh=Grade Flower Seeds

A FEW CULTURAL SUGGESTIONS

The use and growth of flowers, especially, marks the progress of individuals and nations,
the greatest nations of the earth being those with whom the love of floriculture most prevails. To
the lover of flowers, what can be more interesting than to sow the seed, water and otherwise
care for the growth and development of the plant, and at last enjoy the expansion of the flower?
What does the sense of proprietorship of the purchaser of flowers compare to that of the grower
of them? The latter feels that they are verily his own, the results of his fostering care. Among
the flowers which may be grown with a minimum amount of care and expense are those varieties
which reproduce themselves from seeds. They are classed as Annuals, Biennials and Perennials,
and these are subdivided into Hardy, Half-hardy and Tender varieties of each class.

Hardy Annuals are those plants which may be sown in the open air. They grow, flower, pro-
duce seed and then die.

Half-Hardy Annuals are those varieties which require an even temperature of at least 60 de-
grees to germinate the seed, and will not stand frost; consequently they must not be sown in the
open ground during the fall or winter months, and not in spring till April. A good rule for
those to follow who wish to sow this class is to wait for the proper weather and season in which
to sow corn, melon or pumpkin seeds.

Tender Annuals are those that require greenhouse protection, as Calceolaria, etc.; the seeds
are usually very fine, and it requires skill and care to raise them.

Hardy Biennials are those that flower the second year from sowing the seed and then die.

Hardy Perennials are among the finest of our border plants. They do not usually flower till
the second year after sowing, but may be relied upon to produce larger clumps of flowers year by
year for many years.

Half-Hardy Perennials are those which require some protection during the coldest weather,
as they will not stand frost.

Tender Perennials are those species that require greenhouse or other protection during ‘the
greater part of the year, as they are, generally speaking, natives of tropical countries.

The best time to sow Hardy Annuals is in the fall months, as they will make much stronger
plants and flower much more abundantly when wintered over. They may be sown in any finely-
prepared shady border, and transplanted when large enough, to where they are to flower. Do
not cover the -seeds too deep. A good rule is to cover each seed its own depth with soil, at the
same time taking care to water carefully. Never water so much that the soil gets “soggy,” i. e,
saturated; nor ever let the top get dry. Most varieties will germinate within ten days.

_ They may also be sown at any time during the spring months for summer blooming, care
being taken to shade the young plants after transplanting, in hot weather.

Half-hardy Annuals may be sown in April out-of-doors, or in boxes, in March or earlier. If
in boxes, they should be covered or removed under cover during the night-time and during heavy
rains. Those who have hotbeds may sow the seed in February and grow the plants in 3-inch pots
for planting outdoors in April, thus gaining two months on those who have not this advantage.
(See instructions for making hotbedsin calendar of operations:) If sown in boxes, the boxes
should have an inch of rough soil or gravel at the bottom for drainage; the remainder of the
box should be filled within an inch of the top with sifted, light, rich soil, firmly pressed, and the
seed should be sown, covered its own depth with soil, again pressed and watered. When the young
plants are large enough to be handled, prick out into other boxes, planting them about 1 inch
apart, and, when weather permits, they should afterwards be planted in the open ground in the
place where they are to flower.

Tender Annuals should be sown in pots as follows: Take a 5 or 6-inch flower pot, put an inch
of drainage in the bottom, then 2 inches of finely-sifted soil, firmly pressed, with a sprinkling of
sand on top. Then sow the seed, and do not cover, but press into the soil. Water with a very fine
sprinkler, and cover the top of the pot with a sheet of glass. Remove the glass for an hour
daily to dry up the damp. When seedlings appear, gradually harden them off to the air. As soon
as they can be handled, prick out into 2-inch pots, and shift again when necessary.

Hardy Biennials and Perennials should be sown in September. Many varieties, if sown then,
will flower the next year. If sown in spring they will not flower till a year later. They may be
sown in a shady border, and, when large enough, transplanted to where they are to remain.

Half-hardy and Tender Perennials should be sown in boxes, and treated as recommended for
Half-hardy Annuals till plants appear, when they should be pricked into 2-inch pots, and shifted
afterwards when necessary.

We have arranged our list of flower seeds according to the various classes: Annuals, in-
cluding separate lists of Everlasting Flowers and Ornamental Gourds; Climbers, Annual and Per-
ennial; Biennials and Perennials; Ornamental Grasses, Annual and Perennial.

ABBREVIATIONS. Hh means Half-hardy, Annual or Perennial; T means Tender, Annual or
Perennial. When no abbreviation is used, the variety will prove hardy in this climate. The letter
B affixed to a variety means that it is useful for bouquets and cut-flowers.

“FLOWER SEEDS \/\

Tree and Shrub Seed

The supply of fuel is a vital question for Southern California. Varieties of Eucalyptus and
other rapid-growing trees are being largely planted in an attempt to supply the demand. The
value of trees for shade and shelter need not be enlarged upon, and the demand for other pur-
poses, such as railroad ties, spokes, shingles, fence posts, etc., is constant. Southern California is
well adapted for the purpose, as large areas of land now barren could be well utilized. In rais-
ing all kinds of tree seeds successfully, the process of growth and germination in their natural
habitat should be imitated as closely as possible. As a rule, all trees and shrub seed germinate
slowly compared with vegetable and flower seeds.

All Hard Seeds, as acacias, locust, Osage Orange, etc., should be soaked for 24 hours in warm
water, say at 120 degrees, before sowing, or, where practicable, strew dry leaves or bushes
over the beds after sowing and watering, and set fire to them.

Deciduscus Tree Seeds should be planted in this section in winter or very early in the spring,
as most of these seeds lose their vitality very rapidly. The soil should be well prepared, rich
and deep, and the seed should always be sown in drills, and ground Kept thoroughly free from
weeds. Evergreen tree seeds should be sown in boxes or pans, thoroughly well drained, and
should be protected from the sun by being placed under the shelter of a hedge or fence.
They are best sown in the spring or fall, and should be carefully transplanted when necessary.

Vitality. As many tree seeds are collected in distant countries, and will sometimes fail to
germinate, although they may appear well enough to the eye, we wish it to be distinctly under-
stood that we will not in any way be responsible for their failure; but, at the same time, we will
use every endeavor to supply the best.

All tree and shrub seeds quoted in this list at less than 50 cts. per oz. we can supply at
10 cts. per pkt.; those quoted at 50 cts. and upward per oz. we can supply at 15 cts. per pkt.

AUSTRALIAN TREE AND SHRUB SEEDS

We make a separate category of these, as from their value they are worthy of it. The
visitor to Australia, at any season, will at once notice that all the indigenous vegetation is
evergreen. The writer does not know one deciduous tree or shrub native to that country. The
most valuable are, of course, the Eucalyptus. These possess great antiseptic properties, and
are, no doubt, also of great value in absorbing moisture from the bottom soils, thus prevent-
ing malaria. Their value as rapid-growing timber is also great, some varieties making excel-
lent fuel, while others are nearly uninflammable, but are useful in carpentry, and for rail-
way ties, platforms, piles, jetties, etc. Others are very ornamental, bearing showy flowers.

PHOENIX CANARIENSIS

EUCALYPTUS

“THE TIMBER OF THE FUTURE”

Eucalyptus Globulus—Second Growth.
[56]

The Eucalyptus will un-
doubtedly be one of the most
important sources of the gen-
eral timber supply for the
United ‘States. The Govern-

‘ment Bureau , of Forestry

makes the statement that at
the present rate of destruc-
tion, the timber supply of
this country will be ex-
hausted in less than 20 years.

There is an increasing de-
mand for hardwood timber, »
and as most of the Eucalypt
will not stand a lower tem-
perature than 15 to 20 deg.
Fahrenheit, it is up to us to
grow them here on the Coast
and interior valleys. _

Plant now—for now is the
time. To be first in the field
to supply the needs, is to
reap great profits. There are
no hardwood trees that will
grow as rapidly as the Euca-
lypt. They will make ties in
7 to 10 years, and poles 40
to 50 ft. in 8 to 10 years, and
each year increases their
value.

If we take into considera-
tion the small area in which
this tree can be grown on
account of its intolerance of
frost, and the ease with
which we can grow this val-
uable timber, we can begin
to appreciate how much a
few acres of Eucalyptus will
be worth in a few years.

Eucalyptus Rostrata or Red
Gum, is one of the most val-
uable, and it grows under a
variety of climatic condi-
tions. It is one of the best
all-around trees; it thrives at >
the coast; on the dry mesas;
in the foothills, and in the
dry, hot valleys of the in-
terior. The usefulness of
this timber is due to its
durability, both underground
and in water, as it is almost
as hard as iron. It is used
for all kinds of furniture, as
it takes a beautiful polish.

For telegraph poles, posts,
piles and street curbing, it
has no equal.

“FLOWER SEEDS \/\)

Eucalyptus Cree Deed

DIRECTIONS FOR RAISING SEEDLING EUCALYPTUS

Sow seed in spring or summer in shallow boxes in a light, sandy soil with plenty of drainage at
the bottom of each box. Cover the seed lightly and protect from the hot sun, but allow plenty
of air; water often, but sparingly, especially after seedlings appear, for if too much water is
given at one time they will be liable to damp off. When the seedlings are two or three inches
high transfer to shallow boxes, placing about 1% inch apart each way, and when large enough
transplant to where they are to remain, and water well the first year. The strong growing
kinds can be sown in August, September and October, and are ready for planting out early in
spring. Slower kinds, as Eucalyptus amygdalina, etc., sow in spring.

Euealyptus amygédalina. ‘“Messmate Gum.’ Belonging to this variety are the tallest trees in the
world. In Gippsland, Australia, are trees over 400 feet in height. Making first-class timber for
flooring boards, scantling, ete., and is well suited for avenue planting. Yields more essential

| oil than any other variety; ht. 400 ft. Per oz. 75c, lb. $7.50.

E. bicolor. “Black Box.’ Timber of great strength and durability. Useful for piles and railroad
ties; ht. 150 ft. Per oz. $1.00.

E. botryoides. “Bangalay.’”’ <A stately tree, stems attain 70 or 80 feet without a branch, and a
diameter of 6 feet. Timber very durable and used for Keels, planking, ribs of vessels, and
fencing. Posts from old trees known to last for over 25 years. Will thrive in soil containing
stagnant water and near the sea coast on light soil. Per oz. 75c, Ib. $7.50.

E. ealophylla. Ornamental, of rapid growth, with large clusters of cream-colored flowers. On ac-
count of its profuse bloom the tree is an important source of nectar for bees. Timber also val-
uable for carpentry above ground; ht. 50 ft. Per oz. $1.00.

E. ecitriodora. ‘Lemon-scented Gum.” A fine ornamental tree with lemon-scented foliage, sup-
plying also a useful timber. Being a native of Queensland it is more tender than most other
kinds; ht. 80 ft. Per oz. $2.00. : ; :

/ E. cornuta. “Yate Tree.’ A rapid growing variety, it endures a high temperature, but will not
stand frosts. Wood very durable, heavy and elastic, and considered equal to ash. Hignly rec-
ommended for alkali land and said to thrive where other varieties have perished; ht. 100 ft. Per
oz. $1.00

E. corymbosa. “Blood Wood.’”’. Wood of dark red color, easily worked while fresh, but when dry
becomes very hard. Useful for fence posts and railroad ties, being durable under ground. The
numerous gum veins render it of little use for saw purposes; ht. 100 ft. Per oz. $1.00.

Palm and Other Decorative Plant Seeds

As many of the seeds of this class of plants are not reliable unless fresh, and as the varie-
ties do not reach us very regularly from the collectors, we trust our customers will not feel dis-
appointed if they do not receive all of the varieties they may order. We promise, however, to
book such varieties as we cannot supply and forward them promptly upon arrival. As it is
impossible to test the vitality or genuineness of this class of seed, we cannot hold ourselves in
any way responsible for the results of crop. AS many varieties of Palms take a long time to
germinate, we advise patience and careful attention to attain successful results.

FRUIT TREES

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS

PEAR and QUINCE. The seeds of
these varieties may be planted any time
during the winter or early spring. Soak
the seeds in tepid water for three days and
change the water each day, or soak in cold
water for eight or nine days, then sow
lightly in drills 2 feet apart.

ERRY, PLUM, PEACH, ALMOND, ete. The
eultural directions given for the walnut, so
far as germinating the seed is concerned,
may be followed. Should the quantity be
small, however, the pits may be placed in
layers in boxes placed on the ground in a
sunny exposure. Sprinkle over each layer
a coating of sand. ‘Layers may be four to
six deep. Keep constantly moist but not
soaking. As the young plants appear above
ground, they should be carefully removed
and planted in nursery rows 3 feet apart.
A cloudy day is most suitable for this work.
The culture of the walnut is the
same as for stone fruits. The seed may be
planted in beds, during the winter or
spring, covering about 1 inch deep, and
kept moist, but not until they germinate,
which will be in about three or four weeks,
according to the temperature. As soon as
they crack and show the sprout. they
should be transplanted to the nursery rows,
41%, to 5 feet apart and 6 inches apart in
the row. They will grow the first year,
without irrigation, 6 to 12 inches, and, with
irrigation, 8 inches to 4 feet; the second
year, from 4 to 8 feet, with irrigation. If
ordered by mail, 10 cts. per pound addi-
tional will be charged to cover postage.

THE WONDERFUL EGG PRODUCER. The great production of eggs has given the “Interna-
tional Poultry Food” a wonderful reputation throughout every State. We guarantee that it can-
not be fed to hens at any time, winter or summer, without showing a large increase in eggs. You
do not have to use the food at an extra expense, because it will make you more money after de-
ducting its cost. One extra egg per month will pay the entire cost of feeding it, and often more
than doubles the supply. It contains no poisonous or ‘njurious ingredients and has very superior
merits.

PREVENTS,
ABORTION

on
om eo ee ee

In most cases abortion results from a weak system and a run-down condition. This
disease affects the cow’s fetal membranes, and the fact that thedisease germ spreads
from one animal to another accounts for the contagious abortion so common in
herds where this disease develops, entailing severe loss. It can be stopped with

KOW-HKURE

a specific remedy for this specific trouble—it positively prevents and cures abor-
tion. It goes directly to the root of the disease, destroys the germ, strengthens the
womb, invigorates the system and makes the cow heulthy, strong, and able to pro-
duce a vigorous calf. A dollar’s worth of KOW-KURE has saved many a good cow
from the block and made her profitable to her owner. It will do the same for you.
If your dealer can not supply you writetousdirect. Our booklet, ‘*The Cost ofa Lost
Cow,’’ is a mine of helpful information for every cow owner. It’s free— white for it.

This is the most popular combined tool ply promptly anything
made. It combines, in a single implement, a ordered.

first-class hill-dropping seeder, a single wheel hoe or

weeder, a cultivator and a plow. The hopper holds

two quarts of seed, which can be sown in continuous

rows or dropped in hills at 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches
apart. The drill is detached and the tool frame sub- &
stituted by removing but one bolt. It then becomes

a single wheel hoe. It is useful almost every day of
the season, at every stage of
the garden work. With this
pone implement the small farm-
er can do practically all the

work in his small crops. $12; NO. 4 COMBINED SEED DRILL
as a drill only, $10.

“Planet Jr.” No. 25 Combined Hill and Drill Seeder,
Double Wheel Hoe, Cultivator and Plow

This combined machine is intended for gardeners who have a
large enough acreage in crops for a double wheel hoe to be used
to good advantage, and prefer not to buy
separate machines. As a drill it is almost
identical with the “Planet Jr.” No. 4 Drill,
and is thoroughly substantial and accurate
in sowing all kinds of garden seeds in hills
or drills. As a wheel hoe it is identical with
the “Planet Jr.” No. 12, Double Wheel Hoe,
the very best machine on the market. The
change from wheel to drill hoe takes but a

For easy gardening, and at the same time clean and perfect gardening, the kind that will
make your garden the talk of the neighborhood and cause your face to glow with honest pride,
nothing is quite the equal of this No. 17 Wheel Hoe. It is suited to all kinds of garden cultiva-
tion and all garden crops. You can do more and better hoeing with it in one day than you can
do in three days with a hand hoe. The No. 17 has a pair of 6-inch hoes, a plow, and a set of
cultivator teeth, an outfit sufficient for most garden work. Price, $5.75. No. 16, with a pair

. No time is lost, no seed is wasted. It is
quickly set to sow the different kinds of
seeds, in the exact thickness required.

“Planet Jr.” No. 12 Double Wheel Hoe, Cultivator and Plow

Two acres a day can easily be worked with this implement, and when
it is done it will be a better job than three men could have done in the
same time with hand hoes. The No. 12 runs either astride or be-
tween the rows; kills all the weeds and leaves the earth in fine shape.
Then, too, it’s so easy to work; 12-year-old girls work gardens with
with them with ease and success. The No. 12 has a pair of 6-inch
hoes, a pair of plows for opening or covering,
and a set of four all-steel cultivator teeth.
Price, $7.85.

“Planet Jr.” No. 8 Horse Hoe and

ie Cultivator

NO. 12 DCUBLE-WHEEL HOE Probably no other cultivating machine is
so widely known as the “Planet Jr.” Com-
bined Horse Hoe and Cultivator, for it is in use throughout the civilized world. It is so strongly
built as to withstand incredible strain, yet it is light and easy to handle. You can do almost any-
thing you want with it in the garden or field. It opens and closes :
furrows, hoes right up to the plants without danger of injuring,
throws dirt to or from the row and back from center again. You
ean set the hoes at any angle or reverse altogether, cultivate to any
depth desired, and adjust for any width. Every part is perfected to
make the tool acceptable te <he intelligent
farmer, who knows the best is always the
cheapest. Price, $10.50. Without depth reg-
ulator (order as No. 7), $10.

“Planet Jr.” No. 4 Plain Cultivator

It is a light and very strong tool, having \
our improved patent hollow steel standards, = SS
our parallel and extra-high steel frame and 4)-rooTH HARROW, CULTIVATOR AND PULVERIZER
new patent handle braces. It is used either ;
with or without a wheel, the wheel being preferred in most sections. For very narrow rows,
the outside teeth and standards may be removed from the frame. Price, $6.65.

“Planet Jr.” {2-Tooth Harrow, Cultivator and Pulverizer

Gardeners cultivate better than formerly. It has been found to pay best. The farmer or gar-
dener is most likely to cultivate best who has the tool best adapted to
his purposes. With the 12-tooth harrow here shown, you go as deep
or as shallow as you like, come up close to row without injuring plants,
cut out all the weeds, stir the soil and mellow and fine it as with a
garden rake. You widen and narrow as you
please between 12 and 32 inches. It is a
special favorite with strawberry-growers,
market-gardeners and truckers. Price, com-
plete, $10.50; without wheel, $8.60; without the
Wheel and pulverizer, $7.30.

THE FIRE-FLY GARDEN PLOW

This tool is most useful to owners of small gardens. It will
throw a furrow 4 to 6 inches wide, and 1 to 3 inches deep. The
furrows for manure or seeds can be opened and covered. In
cultivating, plow away weed, and plow back again. This tool
will enable a busy man to do in his spare minutes nearly all
the work of a family garden.

Chicken-raisers find it of great advantage in plowing up
their scratching-yards. Price, $3. ~

We wish to impress upon our readers, especially market-
gardeners and those having small farms, the fact that “Planet

we Jr.” tools are great labor-savers and pay for themselves many
‘ FIRE-FLY GARDEN PLOW times over in a single season.

The Finley Rotary Lawn Rake

(We are sole agents for California, Ari-
zona and New and Old Mexico.)

Everyone who has ever raked a lawn
knows what a slow, hard, tedious job it is,
and how unsatisfactory it is when done; for
the rake will always miss some grass, leaves
or other rubbish. The machine is constructed
throughout of the best material and is so
easy to push that a child can operate it.
Simple and strong in construction, durable,
with no intricate Eee: it ae re very acme 3
of perfection as a rake, and will, when once ‘Cwas7) LRA
generally introduced, be as indispensable as 008) IMLEY LAW RAE Co
the lawn mower has become. In two sizes,
14-in., $12.50; 20-in., $15; delivered free any-
where in California.

THE FINLEY ROTARY LAWN RAKE

The Boss Roller <3,

Patented Feb. 12 and 19, 1901

The only high-grade lawn roller on the market having a perfectly smooth face and a silver
finish. The cylinders revolve on steel axles and fit neatly. The outer edges are beveled, thus
greatly facilitating the operation of the roller. The cylinders are so geared that, when turning
one of the rollers remains in place while the other revolves, enabling the operator to work in
small spaces and turn without danger of tearing up lawn or soil. ©

These rollers are balanced with a heavy weight attached to the axle, which not only keeps
them perfectly level, but holds the handles’in an erect position when not in use. The handles are
of a new design and well braced, which makes them rigid, durable and extremely neat in ap-
pearance. We do not hesitate to say ,that the Boss Roller, Heart Design, as illustrated here, is
not only the handsomest roller in the world, but the most durable and best-made roller on the
market. :

Nothing enhances the value and appearance of a house, whether it be a cottage or a mansion,
more than a well-kept lawn, and next in importance to preparing and seeding the soil, is rolling.
All lawns should be mown often and rolled frequently, if a good, even sward is desired. The
benefit derived from the use of a roller on the lawn, especially in the spring, is not fully under-
stood.. The action of cold weather and rains causes the soil to heave, and if not firmly pressed
back with a roller before the hot weather begins, the grass is liable to be killed or injured, leaving
the lawn full of bare spots.
